The browser login on the AP's SSID shows the satellite connected thru backhaul and it has an IP address.
However , it also broadcasts its own SSID (ORBI53) and the ios app sees the satellite not as "connected" to router in AP mode (purple)
It seems that you did not do the Satellite addition correctly. When you brought the Satellite in the vicinity of the Router, have you pressed the Sync button on both units to make them sync?

What FW is currently loaded on the AP base and satellite?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Try a factory reset on the RBS and re-add it to the AP base.
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.
